The Theogony of Hesiod

Description

The Theogony Of Hesiod is a poem describing the origins and genealogies of the Greek gods, composed circa 700 BC. In formal terms it is a hymn invoking Zeus and the Muses: parallel passages between it and the much shorter Homeric Hymn to the Muses make it clear that the Theogony developed out of a tradition of hymnic preludes with which an ancient Greek rhapsode would begin his performance at poetic competitions.
